Singapore: Times Books International for the Malaysian Branch of the RAS, 1983. As the first correspondent for 'The Straits Times' to be stationed in the Federal Capital of the Malay States (now Kuala Lumpur, capital of modern Malaysia) inthe early 1930s, the author had the unique opportunity to meet the people, both common and grand, see the places and witness and record political and social events of the times. He brought to these tasks a keen power of observation, a freshness of approach and a curiosity that only a newcomer from a foreign land could possess. Peet's Journal of these days will take the reader down the highways and byways of the old Malay States, passages not to be found in academic history. Page edges a little browned, cover slightly scuffed, internally crisp and bright. xv, 175 pp., 20 b&w historic photos, index.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good/n/a. 23 x 15 cm..
